Ok guys, what is the deal with Techron ?

Does this stuff really work, or is it snake oil ?

If it is worthwhile, where can I get it ( I don't see any Chevron stations listed in Illinois on their website ) ?

Thanks,

Nick

Nick, I have used it. About once per year. You can buy at any of the better auto parts stores. It's a black bottle. They have it pre-measured for 12 gallons and 20. I use the big one. Cost about $11.

Techron is good.. I've seen the results first hand tearing down a 911 motor that I ran Techron through with every oil change.

HOWEVER.. I have seen a more direct improvement in my Jeep and my 951 using the Lucas products. I highly recommend the Lucas fuel additive (http://lucasoil.hodgsoncorp.com/lucas_fuel_treatment.htm

It solved a bouncing idle issue in my Jeep, and marginally improved throttle response in the Boxster.
